So I have a flock of 14 Khaki Campbell ducks that are 12 weeks old. My goal is to have them free range and I'm admittedly new to raising fowl. Are there steps I need to take before just opening the gate and letting them roam? Best practices or tips? Thanks in advance.
So we are at week nine and the ‘runt’ has thrived. I wish I could figure out how to add a video but I wanted to update and thank everyone who helped me help her.
I have 14 khaki campbell ducklings that are 9 weeks old. How long is recommended to add brewers yeast to their feed? I apologize if this has been asked before but i couldn't find a thread that addressed this issue.
Good afternoon,
So our flock of 16 Khaki Campbells are growing quickly! They are 4 weeks old now and its been fun watching them grow. My question is with regard to them rubbing behind their eyes with their feet while swimming. I've read many posts about them rubbing their oil glands with...

So my daughter is raising khaki Campbell ducklings for her FFA class. We received 16 ducklings a week ago. One emerged as a ‘runt’ this week and a second developed what I believe is splay leg. We segregated the two, adding extra B Complex to their water. I used the vet tape treatment on splay...

(4) What I love most about starting our flock is that it’s my 15 year old daughter that is doing this for...
@Jpat how did the runt turn out? I only ask because I’m dealing with the same thing right now. Just got 16 khakis on Wednesday. One quickly emerged as the runt. Wasn’t eating or drinking and pushed to the corner by the rest. Very proud of my 15 yr old daughter for separating it from the rest...
